About this episode
The Athletic’s Senior NBA Writer Sam Amick and guest host Dan Hellie discuss the Lakers approach at the Trade Deadline in the wake of injuries to LeBron James and Anthony Davis, which difference-makers like Aaron Gordon and Kyle Lowry could be on the move before the deadline, if the Nets are the team to beat for the NBA Title, if the Warriors are likely to land Lonzo Ball, and the growth of the NBA’s G League. USC Head Basketball Coach Andy Enfield and Dan discuss reaching the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16 and if they used some “uncalled for” criticism by a CBS Sports analyst as motivation in the Trojans’ blowout win over Kansas, the challenge of coaching hoops at a football school, and why the Pac 12, 10-1 in this year’s Big Dance, deserves more credit on the national stage. Dan and Brockman wrap up the hour debating if Mike Tyson should have accepted $25 Million to fight Evander Holyfield again and if there really is an audience for long-retired athletes to come out of retirement to compete again.
